"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for Sched
My first experience with Sched was as a speaker on a conference event being organized by our foreign collaborators. As my first foreign speaking engagement, I was naturally extremely nervous, but Sched made collaborating with the organizers so easy and that I felt very much at ease and ended up delivering an exceptional session. After that experience, I recommended trying Sched for our own subsequent conference events.

We have been using square for a very long time. I have always found it to be very user friendly. I really like the reports and the daily email of what we collected. If you use the entire system you will find that you can run a lot of your business with square products.

Sched reviews
Communication is the main problem that Sched solves. It's an at-a-glance snapshot of an entire evening that easily drills down into specifics. It invites interaction, so that's another communication problem solved/helped. I couldn't be more thrilled to have Sched working on my event's behalf. Thank you!

We used to publish our own website with conference info; it had the basic info, but it was hard to keep the pieces consistent. Now we link to the Sched site from our event page and attendees find everything there. Speakers can post their pix and handouts and complete/update their profiles and send e-mail blasts to all who signed up for their workshop. We got good reporting and from it (and Google Analytics) see a high engagement rate (not just page views; over half set up accounts and created a personal schedule). This is all from their lowest service level/tier; higher levels integrate more with registration/payment etc., but we already have an online store and used it for front-end registration.

It wasn't too difficult to get everything set up, but we needed a human to help us select the right package to purchase. It was way too difficult reaching someone and we were actually told that no one could assist us for at least another week because that department was going to a conference.

| This was a perfect option for our needs this year, and now that we know more about how it can be used, it will be used more often for our future conference needs." |

Square for Retail

|---|
| I hold many pop up events for my shop and the square is fantastic for this |
| Adding inventory and processing payments is fantastic |
| It's been a great experience |
| I was able to implement it easily |
| Overall, it was a great beginning software to introduce our team and staff to setting up and developing a POS system and how to best organize and categorize their inventory |
| As a customer I appreciate the ease, speed, and efficiency of this product." |
| Cons |
|---|
| Their fees are insane, and they will close accounts without warning |
| Probably not at fault of the application, but sometimes would have to reconnect or close/reopen if internet connection was lagging |
| This could have led to customer upset in speedy checkout |
| It requires internet connection, so it cannot be used is there is poor or no network/wifi or you cannot hotspot |
| Fees can sometimes be pricey on the business |
